Hello,
this 5mm fly is from october from near a small forest in the japanese prefecture Shiga. Is this a Tachinidae? Does anyone know, which?
Thanks,
Michael

Hello,
thank you for your answer. Is the genus
Siphona very difficult, or would there be a chance in a japanese diptera-forum to identify it up to the species?

The genus
Siphona is far from easy and one 'random' image will rarely suffice to identify it even in Europe.

Thank you Paul,
so I won't be worth the trouble to translate some identification query in to japanese.
Greetings,
Michael
